AGU is proud to offer the annual Michael Freilich Student Data Visualization Competition, named for the former Director of NASA’s Earth Science Division. This competition provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate creative ways to visualize data and present complex problems in the Earth, space and related scientific disciplines, and to advance their ability to communicate science to broad audiences.

In 2024, AGU will be offering workshops to learn more about data visualization and storytelling before you prepare your entry for the competition in the submission window from 10 July through 10 September. These workshops are offered in support of the Freilich Data Visualization Competition and sponsored by NASA
